Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Given that the minister cannot justify the government's Coral Sea decision based on science, is this government's decision simply pandering to the Greens? Can the minister justify why the government's announced policy is almost a carbon copy of the Greens Coral Sea policy announced at the last election, which proposed a Coral Sea marine reserve which was no-take, with only two specific zones open to recreational fishing?
